    Have this question on another thread but instead of hijacking it I will post it here.
    Info needed, I have a 2" blower belt, the blower gear & crank gear are 2 1/4", idler is 2 1/8", with those width figures is there enough width to whittle a new 3 groove pulley? Nother words whats the least width it takes to make/have a 3 groove pulley? I know it would have something to do with what belts you run. Thanks <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

    top pulley on Cragar 3 belt drive

    lower pulley has about 1/8" seperation between the three drive belts and the fourth (water pump/generator) belt

    here's the belt numbers on the set I'm running, your's of course will need to be fit to your application
    you can just see the run numbers in red, these need to be from the same run and as close to sequential as possible

    I bought this set at Williams Oil Filter on Puyallup Ave. in Tacoma

    also a shot of the lower pulley, you need some seperation between the drive and accessory pullies

    You might want to try an industrial power transmission place for belts, rather than an automotive supplier. They can usually supply matched sets of belts for compressors, pumps, etc. Automotive belts of the same part number are not necessarily exactly the same length, resulting in the shortest belt carrying most of the load.

    You can also buy bonded or married belts that have another strip of rubber covering all 3 belts.We used to run them as drive belts for hyd.
